probably a unique RARITY worldwide! An unworn Sinn Bundeswehr from around 1980. sinn revision new on 23.03.2024 for 960 euros.

Unworn safe watch / collector's item. Has been unworn in a collection for the last 4 decades. The watch therefore received a complete overhaul directly from Sinn (sent in via the Sinn concessionaire) at the end of March 2023 because all the oils had become resinous after such a long period of storage. Nothing was worn out due to lack of use, only the glass seal was replaced (old seal enclosed) and the movement was completely disassembled, cleaned and reassembled. The invoice for 960 euros comes with the watch. During our test on the time scale, the Sinn ran at around + 2 s / d with an amplitude of 322 degrees, just like a brand new watch.

This watch was probably fitted with a new original Heuer exchange case by Helmut Sinn (therefore without serial number, only with case reference and Bundeswehr supply number on the case back). Presumably, the original case from the Bundeswehr era was no longer usable or too badly damaged. Most of the cases, on the other hand, were simply bead-blasted and resold as refurbished, which is another special feature. This original case has never been refurbished, as can be seen from the "1550 sg" lettering between the horns and the sharp edges of the case.

As the watch has never been worn, it has no signs of wear. The case back and the original Plexiglas have only slight visual signs of storage in the form of micro-swirls and scratches. There will probably not be another Sinn Bundeswehr in this condition anywhere in the world.

The history of the Sinn Bundeswehr: Some people will remember the basis of this rare watch, the Heuer 1550 sg Bundeswehr chronograph, from their service in the Bundeswehr or even from their time as a pilot in the cockpit. After Heuer discontinued the model at the end of the 1980s, Helmut Sinn bought up decommissioned Bundeswehr stocks in the 1980s and 1990s and sold them again as the Sinn 1550 or Sinn Bundeswehr after they had been reworked/revised. The majority of the watches were resold with the original Heuer dial, which means that today they can no longer be distinguished from the "normal" Heuer 1550 sg that did not pass through Helmut Sinn's hands. However, he gave a small number of these reworked watches his own dials, which bear the "Sinn" lettering and are now highly sought-after collector's items, most of which are in the hands of permanent collectors.

Despite being over 45 years old, the watch measures a current size of around 43 mm, which makes it look perfect on the wrist.

The Sinn Bundeswehr comes on an unworn Sinn back strap with supply number and Sinn buckle. Sinn recently reissued these straps for the 155 Revolutuion ii. The straps correspond to the original straps in terms of dimensions and supply number and are therefore perfect for this watch.
